It's a part of due process. One underlying principle or right would be along the lines of Presumption of innocence. There are all sorts of non-obvious shenanigans which the authorities can pull, otherwise, which given the authorities the unchecked power to pressure or harass individuals. Obviously, that is against individual human rights.
- noego 7y agoThey can and should video record the entire questioning process. If the suspect is abused in any way, the video can be used to punish the culprits. If the police use any illegal tactics to coerce a confession, it can simply be ruled inadmissible. I have yet to hear an explanation on why the lawyer needs to physically be in the room during the questioning.
